Add support for AWS_PROFILE when authMechanism is MONGODB-AWS
Currently, when using MONGODB-AWS, it can only read the following variables:
AWS ACCESS KEY ID
AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY
AWS SESSION TOKENwhich forces you to export credentials or to paste them in the CLI.
AWS has a variable called AWS_PROFILE that will fetch the required values from your credential file, without having to paste them again. This variable is supported by anything using AWS SDK, so mongosh should have support for it as well.

Make Load() support Regex Patterns or make a new loadRegex() function
Problem Statement/Rationale
Let's say you have a directory full of scripts.
For now, I need to do a load('script path') for each script.
Wouldn't it be great if I could do load('*') within the directory, and load them all one after the other with this one liner ?
Expected Results
load(/*/) -> all the files in the directory, sorted by alphanumerical (maybe we could also configure a locale in mongo configuration file or something like that to change collation)
Actual Results
load(Regex Pattern) doesn't work, because it searches a path.
Additional Notes
if it's too complicated to make load compatible…

Add support for AWS SSO when authMechanism is MONGODB-AWS
Currently MONGODB-AWS authentication mechanism doesn't support AWS SSO. User has to manually run
aws sso get-role-credentialsto retrieve the temporary credentials first.All AWS SDK support SSO out of the box, therefore mongosh should add support for it too.

Support git command
MongoSh is a developer tool, obviously. So as a developer, git is always a part of it. Supporting git command inside mongosh will help us save a lot of time.
Here's some of my implementation:
const git = (command) => {
try {
return execSync(`git ${command}`).toString();
} catch (e) {};
return null;
};
const listBranches = () => {
const branches = git(`branch -a`).split(/\r\n|\n|\r/).filter(notEmpty);
return branches.map(branchObj);
};
const pull = (remote = 'origin') => {
return git(`pull ${remote} --rebase`);
};
const log = (cnt) => {
const _cnt = Number(cnt) || 32;
return git(`log --graph --all --oneline --decorate=short --max-count=${_cnt}`);

Add a command to change date format when logrotate is used
After testing db.adminCommand( { logRotate : 1 } ), the following file was generated:
/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log.2021-07-05T15-09-17. It would be good to add command to change date format. E.g. yyyymmdd-hhmmss and also it could be specified as variable in mongod.conf1 vote -
Add support for db.exists() and collections.exists()
Add a db.exists() and collections.exists() so that it is easy to check whether a database or a collection exists. This will help to reduce the propensity to inadvertently create new dbs and collections when running a script due to typos.

Change naming conventions to more inclusive terms. For example "slaveDelay" to "workerDelay" or "rs.isMaster" to "rs.isMain"
There is an initiative in the tech community to replace non-inclusive terms with more inclusive ones and I'd like to get the community's take on it. I think the biggest offenders are terminology referring to "slaves" and "masters", but I'm sure there are others that might fall into that category. Although I'm sure nobody meant any harm by using these terms, I think we can and should do better.
I'm currently working my way through the m103 replication course and I see in replication configuring there's a term "slaveDelay". Also a "rs.isMaster()" method. I'm suggesting replacing "slave" with "worker" and…

Explain shell helpers for CRUD API
The .explain() method in the shell works with some write methods (update, remove, findAndModify), but it doesn't work with the newer CRUD API.
The missing explain methods are:
"deleteMany",
"deleteOne",
"findOne",
"findOneAndDelete",
"findOneAndReplace",
"findOneAndUpdate",
"insertMany",
"insertOne",
"replaceOne",
"updateMany",
"updateOne"I think this would be especially helpful for new hires: explain is a good way to quickly find the code that implements a command.

create custom role with list of collection
currently, when creating a role, we need to list one collection per db for custom role
db.getSisterDB('admin').createRole({role : 'readWriteCollectionXY',
privileges : [ {resource : {db : "databaseA", collection : "***"}, actions : ["find", "insert", "update"]},
{resource : {db : "databaseA", collection : "yyy"}, actions : ["find", "insert", "update"]} ],
roles : []
})having an option to list all the collections in one db with the same permission would be a nice thing to have.
db.getSisterDB('admin').createRole({role : 'readWriteCollectionXY',
privileges : [ {resource : {db : "database_A", collections : ["***", "yyy"] }, actions : ["find", "insert", "update"]} ],

creating an option to import csv files with semicolon separator
There isn't an option to specify semicolon as delimiter on mongo shell when importing csv files. We are forced to import through MongoDB Compass when file has semicolon separator.
